ISLAM AND KARMA

perstitious belief that is not mentioned in the Qur’an and that has
many aspects which conflict with the beliefs of Islam. Therefore, those
who believe in the existence of Allah should not waste their time in-
vestigating it; instead, they should embrace the Qur’an and the clear
Sunnah of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Everyone who believes in Allah and who listens to the voice of his
or her intellect and conscience knows that Allah, not karma, is the
source of justice, and He pays us back in full for whatever we have
done during our life on earth, and sees everything unceasingly, knows
our inmost secrets and is the All Powerful, Supreme Lord of the whole
universe. Allah tells us that He Himself gives us the full and complete
reward of every good or bad action in several verses of the Qur’an:
Those who produce a good action will receive ten like it. But those
who produce a bad action will only be repaid with its equivalent
and they will not be wronged. (Surat al-An’am: 160)
And be steadfast. Allah does not let the wage of good-doers go to
waste. (Surah Hud: 115)
... As for those who fear Allah and are steadfast, Allah does not
allow to go to waste the wage of any people who do good. (Surah
Yusuf: 90)
Both in this world and in the afterlife, Allah rewards every one of
us for our actions in the most just way. For instance, He tells us that
those who disbelieve and who enter into conflict with those who are
good and cause difficulties for them will be punished by Him both in
this world and in the afterlife. Allah, in His infinite justice, punishes
disbelieving evildoers, destroys the traps they set for the good, causes
difficulties for them and makes them live a difficult and distressing
